Not the potential A!A from upthread - sorry, requester anon, this probably isn't really what you want! And besides, it's kind of short, but I saw the prompt and I felt like writing this anyway. I have fun writing this threesome, and I hope somebody else enjoys it!
--- Just A Detail ---
It was nothing big, really. Just a tiny little detail, a drop in the ocean of issues the three of them could - should - did have.
It wasn’t even as if he thought about it a lot; in fact, most of the time, it didn’t register at all, how Lithuania was Toris and Poland was Feliks, but Russia was Russia.
Not Ivan. Never had been, to them - always Russia, just Russia.
Just a little something, at the back of his mind sometimes when he smiled at them and they smiled back. Why, then, if they were happy? He wondered. Well, he had an inkling, but they were thoughts he put away at a far away corner of his mind when he was with them (he had to, or smiling would be a lot harder), so he had to ask.
---
He asked Lithuania first; caught him as they were loading the car with bags and food, on their way to Russia’s old dacha near Saint Petersburg. Poland was already in the front seat, picking which album they should play on the road.
At first, Lithuania looked away and stuttered something, but Russia didn’t catch any of it and so he asked again. This time, Lithuania was quiet for a moment (Russia let himself be disappointed - he thought Lithuania would speak to him - trust him - more).
“There’s nothing - wrong with you,” he said, his voice uncertain, as if he was trying to cover up for some kind of story (involving Russia’s coat, maybe, or his sister). Russia’s disappointment grew a little heavier and he frowned.
“It’s just - not something we think about. Sorry.”
Then, he added something about trying to include him more, but Russia wasn’t really listening anymore. Either way, it wasn’t what he wanted to hear; it was time to leave for the dacha.
---
He asked Poland next. Not at the dacha, no, because that was enjoyable and they had a lot of fun and that would have made things strange (although it would have been nice to have had an answer without having to ask, so he kept his ears open anyway, so to speak).
They were sitting at a coffee shop, and Lithuania had gone to order two iced lattes and a black tea (Russia didn’t really like iced lattes). Poland didn’t make him repeat like Lithuania had, but he laughed so loudly Russia wondered if he had understood well.
“Dude,” Poland said, wiping at his eyes (uselessly, because he was laughing, not crying). “It’s just something Liet and I’ve done for like... centuries, y’know? Way, way before we started going out with you. ‘s no big deal, so don’t worry ‘bout it, ‘kay?”
Russia supposed it made sense, in a way, and besides, Poland was “Liet this” and “Liet that” most of the time anyway.
But he also remembered hearing America say Toris, once or maybe twice, and his heart ached - more than a little. Then Lithuania came back, and the tea at least made him feel warmer, so Russia smiled and said thanks.
---
It felt like years (and it was) before he heard Lithuania call him Ivan; even longer until he heard Poland do the same.
A little voice in Russia’s head told him Lithuania hadn’t really meant anything by it, probably hadn’t even noticed his own slip; but Russia made himself believe that the warm, wonderful smile Toris gave him as he left that morning (“Bye Ivan, see you next week.”) was completely truthful and honest.
Feliks grinned and kissed him (“Wow, Ivan that was, like, fantastic, amazing! We so have to do it this way again!”) and Ivan’s whole body blushed but he smiled back because there was no mistaking the honesty in Feliks’ words.
It didn’t really register on Ivan’s mind at the time, but smiling when they were together became a little easier, after that.
Aw, thank you! I reread the prompt and I was like - this isn't what they asked for at all! but it was already written so I decided to post anyway. Besides, I'm certain you'll get awesome fills for that, it's a good prompt!
Oh my, a fluffy RusLietPol fic? The only bad thing about this is that it's so short, but it's so nice I don't really mind - this made me smile and feel all warm and good.
This is uber cute, anon! A little bit sad at the beginning, but the happy ending melted my heart ^^ Also, this threesome is amazing, I so wish there was more!
